Anyone intrigued by one particular model??

Incredibly easy on the eyes, both of them!I’ve been a busy body with PRS GUITAR’s lately. Funny how I’ve been doing a shootout at home quietly with all the models that I own. I’ve been doing this before I saw this thread. Well, I’ve narrowed it down to new models that I can’t live without although I prefer it be three, but for the sake of this reply, the two models CAN’T live without.
1) The Custom 2408 year 2024 with TCI pickups
2) The West St. Limited…. With the non-wax potted West st. (RP) pickups.
I’ve mentioned the story before, I’ve started with PRS GUITAR’s after checking them out in 1988 bought my first one a custom 24 signature series in January 1990. I absolutely adore 24 fret guitars. Of course I would’ve missed out on a lot of great models. If I didn’t play the 22 fret ones. I always end up putting down the 22s so when PRS put the TCI pups on the 2408 I was thrilled. The MEV was my favorite for the longest time, but in the end, I only use so many switchable tones and the 2408 covers all of it for me and 24 frets! And, of course the Westy! With Tones in its own class. Thanks, Sergio for selling me that mahogany beast I love so much. As some of you may remember I had it refinished in a champagne/magenta shifting finish. I plan on putting together a thread on why I chose these two guitars as my top two models.
Cheers
Gorgeous.

With all of your experience I would love for you to play these and give me your option .... of course tone is somewhat subjective BUT you are a true professional and I think you could articulate in words better than I ever could the tonal benefits of these guitars.

My God you people have nice guitars! I don’t come across instruments like this where I shop. I feel fortunate to almost have my DGT paid off. For taking pictures, they say the best camera you can have is the one you have with you. I could say that about a guitars I suppose, but this forum has so many wonderful guitars!! Makes me yearn for stepping up to the next level.

I drank the PRS kool aid, and it was tasty!
Every PRS is a beautiful guitar, especially if it inspires you tonally.

My eyes are bulging from the glorious blueness of that guitar!must be a ltd dealer run of some kind .. . they are keepers. I'm thinking blue fretboards weren't stock either ...this one in Germany

Well said. My DGT may be the most inspiring guitar I’ve owned.

Hell yeah, I enjoy all mine SE included but the 2011 Core Custom 24 just does sth extra special and is truly inspirational to play, may seem like a bland choice to some but man! Wow
For me it's the Santana models. But I'm not a trem guy so I'd end up blocking it. Santana has been an inspiration for so many years. The other obsession would be a new Yamaha SG2000 versatile and so desirable. Yamaha SA2200 or a similar semi if I could get core PRS. Joe Walsh Les Paul or PRS singlecut I'm not sure if there is a PRS Joe Walsh signature.

That would be a perfect guitar for me. But I suspect the price used is to much for me.McCarty 594 Singlecut Joe Walsh Limited

It is not inexpensive to be sure, but the core model is more reasonable.

I didn’t know I had interest but a very clean custom 22 S/H SE for the Korean days just popped up not far from me. It wasn’t on the list but it might end up in the rack
